Basecamp is an online project management service with a lightweight user interface. Basecamp allows creative and non-creative teams to increase productivity and organize work on projects. The service combines tools for communication, task tracking, scheduling and file transfer. Users can access versions in the browser and on mobile devices.
Work in Basecamp takes place in a single space that hosts common tasks and chat for the company, teams and projects. These components include 6 elements for project management: project news feed, task sheet, documents and files, shared chat, calendar and automatic check-in. The Company tab contains general elements related to the whole team, the Teams tab contains elements related to the work of a certain department.
